Are you looking for a different kind of word sort than this is for you? The word cards are scrambled and students have to unscramble them and sort them by Triple Consonant Blends. I use this activity during whole group learning. I will have students talk to their shoulder partner and try to figure out what the word is. My students really like this activity because it gives them the opportunity to work with their friends and try to figure out the words that are scrambled.
Before using this activity, I recommend using another Triple Consonant Blends activity that teaches students different words that have that skill in them. It will make using this word scramble much easier.
This activity can be used for literacy centers, whole group instruction, or small groups.
Here is some more detailed information about this activity.
The blends I used are spr, spl, squ, thr,
str, and scr
This activity comes with:
Word Scramble
- Students sort the word cards with its
picture by triple consonant blend. Then
unscramble words on the scrambled word card.
The answer is on the back of each card.
-Word Scramble comes in color and black
and white
-This activity covers 24 words
Worksheets
There are 2 different types of
worksheets.
-1st worksheet: place words
around the room and have students write the words under the correct category
-2nd worksheet: Students unscramble
words, cut out pictures to glue next to the words, and then write the correct
spelling next to the picture. At the
bottom of the worksheet, students will pick one word to write a sentence about
it.
Black and White Word Cards
-I made a card for every word used in
this activity. You can either send the
cards home or create games using the cards like Memory or Go Fish.
Lesson
Plan
-I created a lesson plan that could be
used for this literacy activity. The
lesson plan comes with common core state standards and ideas on how to use this
activity.
Video
Ideas and Books that Teach Triple Consonant Word Blends
-I wrote down videos, activities, and
books that cover triple consonant blends.
Here is an example on how to use this
activity: I play
several games with word cards as a whole group.
The main games that I play that my students love is mingle and 2 circles
game. Mingle is where you give each
student a card. You start the game by
saying “mingle”. Students will walk
around the room until you say stop. When
you say stop, students are to find the closest person to them to partner up
with. They read their card to them and
then switch cards. I repeat this game
until students lose interest. The 2
circles game is where I have students get into 2 circles (an inner and outer
circle). When they get into their circle
they make sure that they have a partner that faces them. Students read their card to their partner and
switch cards. Then I have the inner
circle move to the right one time.
Continue to do this until students have made a complete circle.
